    If you go to the command prompt and try pinging a website does that work?

    See if you can ping boards.ie
    click start
    click run
    type "cmd"
    THen type "ping www.boards.ie"
    If you get a response your connected.
    Also maybe you tcp/ip settings are messed up

    So go to network connection
    right click on your lan
    properties
    tcp/ip settings properties.

    IP address
    dns settings should be obtain automatically

    first check device manager to make sure the network card driver has no problems

    type ipconfig to make sure you have an ip address

    next ping 127.0.0.1 - if that don't work sort out your network drivers

    next ping your default gateway ping 192.168.1.1 if that don't work reboot your wireless acess point or internet router thingy

    now ping 8.8.8.8 - it's a google DNS server, if that works then you probably have a dns problem
